  • Page 22: Flailhead Attachment

    FLAILHEAD ATTACHMENT Operate machine controls to manoeuvre into a position to enable attachment of the flailhead – the bottom of the hose junction bracket must be parallel with the ground. Refer to ‘Pre operational checks’ for correct bolt torque settings. Connect up flail hoses as indicated below.
  • Page 23: Removal From Tractor

    REMOVAL FROM TRACTOR DANGER READ CAREFULLY BEFORE COMMENCING TO REMOVE THE MACHINE FROM THE TRACTOR. THE ORDER OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY DISCONNECTING THE TOP LINK MUST BE THE LAST OPERATION PRIOR TO DRIVING THE TRACTOR AWAY FROM THE MACHINE. WARNING Do not operate quadrant lever or machine controls through the rear cab window whilst standing on or amongst linkage components.
  • Page 24: Storage

    STORAGE If machine is to be left standing for an extended period of time, lightly coat the exposed portions of the ram rods with grease. Subsequently this grease should be wiped off before the rams are next moved. If the machine has to be stored outside tie a piece of tarpaulin or canvas over the control assembly, do not use a plastic fertilizer bag which could lead to rapid corrosion.
  • Page 25: Operation

    OPERATION OPERATOR GUARD PREPARATION READ THE BOOK FIRST Practice operating the machine in an open space without the rotor running until you are fully familiar with the controls and operation of the machine. CAUTION Care must be taken when working with the flail head close in as it can come into contact with the tractor.

  • Page 27: Breakaway

    BREAKAWAY NOTE: The breakaway function does not relieve the operator of his responsibility to drive carefully, be alert and AVOID OBVIOUS HAZARDS BEFORE CONTACT OCCURS. Breakaway may occur momentarily during normal work should an extra thick or dense patch of vegetation be encountered. In these instances tractor forward motion may be maintained with care.
  • Page 28: Moving Into The Transport Position

    MOVING INTO THE TRANSPORT POSITION  Select ‘ROTOR OFF’ and wait until the rotor has stopped turning.    Ensure that the ‘lift’ and ‘angle float’ are switched off. Select ‘SLEW’ mode on the  control assembly.   ...
  • Page 29 TRANSPORT POSITION – Rear Mounted Machines The machine is transported in line to the rear of the tractor with a minimum of 3OOmm clearance between the tension link and the rear cross member of the tractor cab. TRANSPORT POSITION WITH FLAILHEAD REMOVED With the flailhead removed the arms are fully folded but with the lift ram fully retracted.
  • Page 30: Moving From Transport To Work

    TRANSPORT When in transport the P.T.O. must be disengaged and the power to the control box switched off. The acceptable speed of transport will vary greatly depending upon the ground conditions. In any conditions avoid driving at a speed which causes exaggerated bouncing as this will put unnecessary strain on the tractors top hitch position and increase the likelihood of the tension link contacting the cab rear cross member.
  • Page 31: Rotor Operating Speed

    ROTOR OPERATING SPEED TRACTOR FORWARD SPEED The material being cut determines tractor forward speed. Forward speed can be as fast as that which allows the flail head sufficient time to cut the vegetation properly. Too fast a speed will be indicated by over frequent operation of the breakaway system, a fall off in tractor engine revs and a poor finish to the work leaving ragged uncut tufts...
  • Page 32: High Voltage Cables

    HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES It cannot be stressed enough the dangers involved when working near high voltage electricity cables. Before attempting to work in these areas ensure you have read and fully understood the safety section at the beginning of this manual which includes information on this subject.
  • Page 33 HEDGE CUTTING PROCEDURE 1. Cut the side and bottom of the field side first. This leaves the maximum thickness of hedge on the road side to prevent the possibility of any debris being thrown through the hedge into the path of oncoming vehicles.
  • Page 34: Working On Adverse Slopes

    WARNING NEVER CUT ON THE BLIND SIDE OF THE HEDGE. It is impossible to see potential hazards or dangers and the position of the flail head would possibly allow debris to be propelled through the hedge towards the tractor and the operator. WORKING ON ADVERSE SLOPES When working high with the reach fully in it is possible for the main arm balance to go over...
  • Page 35: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION GENERAL Grease daily all the points shown in the diagram above. P.T.O. SHAFT Regularly check the P.T.O. guards for damage and ensure the anti rotation chains are in place and that their anchor points are in good condition. Lubricate the points shown on the diagram below at the intervals indicated using general purpose lithium based grease.
  • Page 36: Hydraulic System

    HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL SUPPLY Check the oil level in the reservoir daily. No fixed time period can be quoted for oil changes as operating conditions and maintenance standards vary so widely. Burnt and scorched oil odours and the oil darkening and thickening are all signs of oxidation and indicate the oil should be changed. Moisture that results from condensation can become entrapped in the oil and cannot be removed by filtration so that water contamination is progressive.
  • Page 37: Hydraulic Hoses

    HYDRAULIC HOSES The condition of all hoses should be carefully checked during routine service of the machine. Hoses that have been chaffed or damaged on their outer casing should be securely wrapped with waterproof adhesive tape to stop the metal braid from rusting. Hoses that have suffered damage to the metal braid should be changed at the earliest opportunity.
